The future of Twinkies, Ho-Ho’s and other Hostess products is not fully
written yet. The judge in Hostess’s bankruptcy case has directed the
company and its second largest union, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco
Workers and Grain Millers International Union, to private mediation. The
company announced last week that it was shutting down due to a crippling
strike.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Twinkies will live to see another day.

A recent financial audit by Sports by Brooks of payments made by Auburn
University to student football recruiting hostesses since late 2009 revealed
that the state-funded institution paid out tens of thousands of dollars to
the student “Tigerettes” charged with escorting football players during
recruiting visits to the school.
A Jan. 28, 2011, article in the AUBURN PLAINSMAN detailed the background of
the longstanding, school-sponsored group:

Hostess Brands, the bankrupt maker of cream-filled pastries like Twinkies
and Ho Hos, said on Friday that it planned to wind down its operations. The
decision comes a week after one of the company’s biggest unions went on
strike to protest a labor contract.

Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I
can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

英国航空公司的一个空姐讲述上班时同事的淫乱和其它趣事。
British flight attendant claims first-class passengers pay stewardesses for

An air hostess from a British airline has lifted the lid on the mile-high
bonks, romps with pilots and celebrity affairs that go on among the
glamorous crew.
The stewardess, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims life on board is
every bit as outrageous as the famous names she’s met.
She first joined the airline “to travel the world, meet new people and get

小菜的建议非常好,以前有人建议过,而且实施过。确实能让客人垫吧一下,不至于干
等。。。但真正忙起来的时候,并不是厨房炒菜速度跟不上,而是外面多项服务一起进

如解决顾客最要紧的需求。
(我们并不是不听善意的建议的,但理论和实践之间的差别总是要比想像的差很多)
如果预定的时间在rush hour的话,同样不会有帮助的。
对了,之前我说如果是我管理餐馆,我会向美国餐馆那样,一个桌子由一个服务生来接
。但这样就必须要有一个hostess带位,但中国客人很多对桌子很挑,喜欢自己选桌子
,不喜欢被带位。另外一定会有很多顾客去喊hostess为自己做这样那样不归hostess管
的事情,而如果hostess不管的话,顾客会迁怒于自己的服务生,克扣小费。总之顾客
一定要去几次才能习惯这样的管理方式。。。你说这样是好还是不好呢?

去的都是家庭旅店,那种前台、经理、保安集一身的inn。
大酒店Marriott那种,前台是最底层,每天就是站着,咧嘴笑,背一套词,什么我们酒
店wifi密码拉,什么几点餐厅关门开门,客房服务有哪些,出门左拐右拐有什么啦,最
后祝您入住愉快,语速快的根本听不清,就跟相声贯口一样。
这说白了就是一个多余的岗位,完全是大酒店为了显摆自己的hospitality,安排了几
个男女花瓶充门面。
就说说这个职位需要个几把skill?是条狗都能干了。这么个职位能掌管升级房间?纯
搞笑。就是酒店旅客投诉房间,他们都要请示值班经理才有能力调房。
前台这个职位和餐厅的hostess不一样,hostess收小费可以给你插队,找靠窗户位置,
但是前台不行,因为是最底层,连酒店清洁工有工会,赚的都比前台多。
以后快捷酒店都是和机场一样,自助check in,节省成本,机场的自助登机服务电脑有
权力升舱,但是也要加钱。
所以别yy了,土鳖嘛也没见过嘛也不知道,凭空想象,真尼玛扯。

小账又称小费,而广东俗语更有几个其他称呼。我最欣赏是香港的一些老人家还应该记得的「金梳」一词,是英语come shore(抵岸)的谐音。源于鸦片战争后,西洋鬼子群起乘船抵港,岸上的苦力就是这样叫,而跟着食肆的侍应也这样叫了。(后来「金梳」又以谐音翻为英语cumshaw,杀进英语字典,解作赏钱。)小账西方称gratuity或tips。有三类:自愿、强迫、竞投。自愿的小账是大家熟知的到餐厅进膳或到宾馆住宿给服务员的,是多是少由顾客决定。强迫是硬性地在价单之上加一个百分率,通常加十或十五。西方称服务费(service charge)。有点怪,因为服务费已经算进餐价或房价,怎么再加呢?
竞投小账源于订价偏低
我要先谈「竞投」这项小账。没有什么值得多谈,因为少人注意,要顺便一提。一九七八年,老师阿尔钦访港,在街上见到计程车招之不停。摆明是空车,但一律不停,问我何解,我教他双手各出一指,打个「十」字,车会停下来。果然灵光,阿师回美后把这件琐事几番跟朋友说了。原来当时香港的计程车供不应求,用两指打个「十字」是说在计程表之价上补加十元小账。这是竞投的小账了。

当地时间上周日(1日)晚上10点20分左右,在拉斯维加斯曼德勒海湾赌场附近举行的一场乡村音乐节中发生枪击案。截至目前,枪击事件已经至少造成59人死亡,527人伤。枪手在警方进入其酒店房间前自杀身亡。这起事件已成为美国现代史上伤亡最惨重的枪击事件。警方证实,嫌疑人为64岁的当地居民史蒂夫·帕多克,其袭击动机不明。
他是内华达州赌场中的常客,他也涉足得克萨斯州的房地产投资项目,他最后一次已知的做全职工作是在30年前,他曾离过两次婚,他还有飞行员执照,曾拥有过两架单引擎的小飞机。他,就是此次美国拉斯维加斯枪击案的凶手,史蒂夫·帕多克。
虽然目前他的行凶动机仍不明朗,但他的资料信息显示,他过着一种非常放荡不羁和不循规蹈矩的生活。

凶手的同居女友、62岁妇人玛莉露?丹利(Marilou Danley)。(图取自脸书)
为什麽一个没有经济问题,日常生活似乎毫无异状的银髮族,会选择在高楼层的饭店房间,对参加演唱会的群众展开屠杀式扫射?拉斯维加斯1日晚间惊传屠杀式重大枪击,凶嫌犯案动机迄今仍然成谜,而案发当时人在东京的凶嫌同居女友,如今成了调查人员急欲面谈的关键人士。
赌城屠杀案凶嫌帕多克(Stephen Paddock)1日晚间在警方攻入他所下榻的曼德雷湾赌场度假村(Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino)饭店房间之前,已经举枪自尽。警方在房间内起出23隻枪械,后来也在帕多克住家找到19隻枪以及大批弹药。
案发迄今,对于帕多克可能的犯案动机为何,调查人员仍然没有具体掌握。除了行凶动机之外,帕多克的大批武器是如何取得、在前后多长的期间内取得,为何挑选「91号公路丰收音乐节」(Route 91 Harvest Festival)的时间点行凶,是否早就决定要从价格不菲的景观套房开枪,还有他到底有哪些不为人知的恩怨、是否有精神方面的疾病,如今或许只有帕多克的同居女友、62岁妇人玛莉露?丹利(Marilo... 阅读全帖

Chinese passengers will be judged as wrong, because China is still the 2nd
in the world.
If it happens on a Thailand airplane, it will be the air hostess's mistake.
You understand.
